Areal Flood Watch Statement as of 8:00 PM CDT on August 20, 2008
... Flood Watch in effect from Friday evening through Sunday
evening...
The National Weather Service in Tallahassee has issued a
* Flood Watch for portions of southeast Alabama and Florida...
including the following areas... in southeast Alabama...
Coffee... Dale... Geneva... Henry and Houston. In Florida... Bay...
Calhoun... coastal Walton... Gulf... Holmes... inland Walton...
Jackson and Washington.
* From Friday evening through Sunday evening
* Tropical Storm Fay is forecast to come ashore once again
tonight... this time into northeast Florida. Fay will then track
west northwest across North Florida on Thursday and weaken to a
depression just before reaching the lower Suwannee River
Thursday night. The depression will then track across the
Florida Big Bend on Friday and then across the Panhandle into
southeast Alabama by Saturday morning.
* Fay is expected to bring an extended period of heavy rain to the
area beginning Friday evening and continuing into Sunday
evening. Storm total rainfall could reach 6 to 10 inches across
inland portions of the Florida Panhandle. Amounts are currently
forecast to be lower over southeast Alabama where 5 to 7 inches
are possible. This much rainfall will cause areal and riverine
flooding despite the prolonged drought that has existed across
parts of the area for some time.
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert
for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to
flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding
develop.
